Compared with the summer vacation, the winter break is much shorter, and Zhou Yi finally only stayed at home for a week before saying goodbye to his parents. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He joined Yang Muge in Beijing and returned to Germany together.

Unlike when they came back, when they left China, there were a large number of fans at the airport to see them off, and I don't know where to know the exact time of Zhou Yi's departure.

At the airport, Zhou Yi asked Yang Muge: "How is it, Lao Yang?

He was talking about Yang Muge's fame.

Yang Muge smiled.

At this time, a huge shout sounded outside the airport security checkpoint, which was the enthusiastic fans saying goodbye to Zhou Yi and Yang Muge.

"Look, old Yang. When we left before, how could there be such a scene. Zhou Yi turned around and waved to the enthusiastic fans outside the security check. "How does it feel?"

Yang Muge also turned around to say goodbye to the fans: "It's good. ”

"Hah!" Zhou Yi smiled.

After returning to Germany, Zhou Yi did not stay in Dortmund for long, and went to the warm Mallorca of Spain with the team, and began training with the team in the second half of the season on that famous tourist resort island in Europe.

Borussia Dortmund's recruitment work is also underway at the same time.

Transfers during the winter break are generally about filling in the gaps in the team's lineup, and they are not very heavyweight transfers.

But for Borussia Dortmund, the winter break of the season is important.

Because Mark Wagner was seriously injured in the previous national team game and said goodbye to this season, it is not known what will happen after his return next season.

The team lost an important firepower point in the attacking frontcourt.

Of course, it has to be strengthened.

This time, they are targeting Marco Reuss, who has previously trained in the Dortmund Academy, another 'Mark'.

A native of Dortmund, Reus trained in the junior team of the club from a young age and, like every Dortmund child, dreams of one day playing for Dortmund.

However, it is not easy to achieve such a dream.

Reus did not get a straight promotion in the Dortmund echelon and, like Grosskloitz, was dropped by Dortmund halfway through, so he opted to go to the lower divisions in the same region, Red and White Allen, where he excelled.

Grosskloitz, who also performed well in red and white Allen, was spotted by Borussia Dortmund and bought back by Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2009.

Reuss, on the other hand, still didn't have the eye to break into Borussia Dortmund's eyes and went to Borussia Mönchengladbach to replace former key player Marco Marin, who left the team for Werder Bremen.

At the time, his transfer was worth only one million euros.

But in Borussia Mönchengladbach, Reuss quickly achieved success.

In the 2009-2010 season, his first season with Borussia Monchengladbach, he made 33 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists.

The following 2010-2011 season, he settled firmly at the heart of Borussia Mönchengladbach, scoring 10 goals and providing 12 assists in 32 appearances.

In fact, strictly speaking, Reus and Mark Wagner are two different styles of players, with Mark playing more in the middle and Reus playing more on the wing. Reus is fast and good at dribbling, Mark's speed is not his strength, and the dribbling is relatively average, and he has the ability to seize opportunities and excellent ball playing.

There is nothing in common between the two men except that their names are pronounced the same.

So to say that Dortmund are interested in Reuss solely to fill the void left by Mark's injury would be incorrect.

It's just that Mark's serious injury has strengthened the determination of Dortmund's top management to bring in Reuss. After all, now Dortmund's offensive lineup looks strong, but the thickness is not enough, just rely on those few people, one injury is one less, after Mark's injury, even if one more person is injured, not Zhou Yi, but others, Dortmund's offensive lineup can't support it.

For the future, Dortmund hope to bring in Reuss.

But how could Borussia Mönchengladbach easily let go of his core?

The two sides have been grinding for a long time on the transfer fee first, and then they have been tugging at the transfer incident.

Borussia Dortmund are hoping that Reus can move over this winter break.

But Borussia Mönchengladbach was adamant not to let him go, saying that if Dortmund insisted on completing the transfer during the winter break, then Borussia Mönchengladbach would not be sold.

Dortmund wanted Reus to move during the winter break, naturally because of the Champions League knockout rounds in the second half of the season.

However, Borussia Mönchengladbach have been in excellent form this season, finishing the first half of the league season, with Borussia Dortmund in first place with 38 points and Borussia Mönchengladbach in fourth place with 33 points, and they also have a chance to qualify for next season's Champions League.

And in this process, Royce has played a great role and is very important.

If Reuss is let go during the winter break, it could mean that next season's Champions League qualification could be in vain.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's club hierarchy is not an idiot, although now Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach have basically agreed on the transfer price of Reuss, which is 17.5 million euros, but Borussia Mönchengladbach knows very well that if he can participate in next season's Champions League, even if it is only in the group stage, the economic income will not be less than this transfer fee.

If Reus were to go to Dortmund now, Borussia Mönchengladbach would have lost a lot.

Such a simple math problem, the top management of the Borussia Mönchengladbach club can still do the math.

So they very firmly rejected Dortmund's offer.

In the end, after a long tug-of-war between the two sides, Dortmund finally agreed to Borussia Mönchengladbach's transfer plan - the transfer contract can now be finalized, but the transfer will not be implemented until the end of the season.

It is equivalent to Dortmund finalizing the transfer of Reus half a year in advance.

In this way, for Dortmund, although it will have to wait for half a year, but with Reuss performing better and better, Dortmund is bound to have more competitors. They finalized the transfer deal half a year ahead of schedule, which was equivalent to taking a reassuring pill. Even if Reus really helped Borussia Mönchengladbach qualify for next season's Champions League after this season, his value, contract salary and nothing will rise because of this, and it is no longer possible for other teams to poach Reuss from Borussia Mönchengladbach at a high price.

It's like getting an insurance policy.

Of course, this operation is not without risks, in case Reus's form declines in the second half of the season, and his performance is not worth the current price at all, Dortmund can only consider themselves unlucky.

As for the greater risks, they are stated in the contract. For example, if Reus is seriously injured in the second half of the season, Dortmund has the right to return it.

After all the contract details have been finalised, after the contract between Borussia Dortmund and the player himself has also been negotiated.

On January 14, 2012, Dortmund officially announced that they owed Marco Reuss. The transfer contract will take effect on 1 July 2012.

When the news was announced, the happiest people were the Dortmund fans. Because of the extraordinary sense of identity, Dortmund fans value and love every player from the Dortmund Academy, and they hope that more players from Dortmund will wear the Dortmund jersey. So players like Grosskloitz and Mark are very popular among Dortmund fans.

When Mark was seriously injured, the saddest thing to recognize his relatives was those Dortmund fans.

Now the wandering Dortmund wanderer can return to West****, which is still very exciting and exciting.

And the saddest of all is probably the Borussia Mönchengladbach fans.

There were even agitated Borussia Mönchengladbach fans who took to the outside of the training base to protest the club's easy sale of the core of the squad.

Sold Marin before and bought Royce.

Now that Reuss has been sold again, can Borussia Mönchengladbach still find a qualified replacement for Reus?

However, this is the survival of small and medium-sized clubs, who do not have the financial support of large conglomerates, nor the belief bonus of a large number of fans, and cannot carry out global commercial development. Some teams' annual salary budget may not be worth the transfer fee of a player from a giant like Bayern Munich.

So if these clubs want to pay for their own profits, they can only sell players, poach talented players from smaller teams at a low price, and then play for two years, and after the results, sell these players to the big clubs to make the difference.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach used to be an old powerhouse in the Bundesliga, in the era of more and more commercialization of football, they gradually failed to keep up with the times, and became a middle and lower team in the Bundesliga, and from time to time they were relegated or something.

Selling the core, although it will make fans unhappy, is not a big deal compared to the club falling into financial crisis and going bankrupt......
